Although it looks like his immediate reaction was to reach out to the NFC East, to get revenge on the Cowboys. Either way, the chances of him being a Raven are pretty slim. Ozzie Newsome is probably putting on his best Emperor Palpatine impression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the Eagles and Giants don't have any money and it's been reported the Redskins aren't interested so he's going to have to play somewhere else. I think the teams we have to worry about most are the 49ers, Bears, Cardinals, Texans, and Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danand Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I honestly haven't paid much attention to Bryant. It always seems to be a lot of "me me me" surrounding him, and while it apparently is because of his passion to me, its a personality type that still bugs me. Depending on what type of contract he want, he could still be a better addition than many other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what type of contract he want, he could still be a better addition than many other options. I never really had a problem with how he handled himself as he got older (perhaps some as a younger player, but give a rich kid from the hood that kind of money, there’s bound to be growing pains). The thing that I didn’t like was his scorned girlfriend approach to leaving Dallas, though I understand why. Dallas said this wasn’t personal, that it’s business, but they waited to release him when his employment and money making opportunities were left to be few and far between. He could either accept a high offer from a terrible franchise situation such as Cleveland and Indy or lesser offers from the teams that might have offered him hefty contracts at the beginning of free agency. Regardless of his maturity, having performed to a high level in the past, the franchise should’ve still given him a greater courtesy in how they handled him, that respect for veterans is something that trickles down to the players respecting management and coaching. Instead they simply treated him like a practice squad player, that hasn’t made a name for himself in the league. I expect that if one day the Ravens ever got rid of Flacco, it would be done in a way that allowed him and his family the best situation to thrive. Regardless of how disappointed they were with the return that he gave them for his (at the time) record QB contract. That would be business and something to be understood. So I’m just going to ignore what Dez Bryant is saying about Dallas right now. As clearly both the franchise and he are in the wrong. In a more respectful situation and locker room, like we have, I’d be willing to give him a chance at redemption. He will just have to wait on his revenge until another season.

DontTazeMeBro Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Doesn’t hurt that we have guys like Steve Smith and Weddle out there saying how much they love/d their time here. Assuming we’re in the running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensfanRD Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Since I didn't get Jimmy Graham, now is the time to right the wrongs of the 2010 draft. Make the call, go get Dez! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we’re in the running Yeah, especially when you get d’ed around by your former franchise, I’m sure once the hate fades, going to a “respected” as well as “respectful” organization will make a difference. It’s all about how creative they can be with the contract. I’m sure Bryant will at least want Crabtree type of money, if not more, so we’ll see how creative they can be with the cap to make this happen.

diamondbull424 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Well they’re both from the Dallas,TX area if I’m not mistaken. So it makes sense that they would be hanging out at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They still are looking to add a receiver. There is a lot to like about the Baltimore Ravens and Dez Bryant. Keep an eye on that one." Quote The Ravens aren't the only team showing interest in Bryant, however. The Bills have been interested from the beginning, per Rapoport, but it "just does not seem like that's going to happen." The Saints are also a possibility, Rapoport added, but they don't figure to be as aggressive as Baltimore. Okay then. This sounds like it might happen if Dez has any interest in Baltimore.

Give him the same deal we gave Crabtree and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So now that we know our interest is in Dez, can someone help sell me on why Dez would be interested in us at this point? Not a good QB, no recent playoff appearances, can't really offer him much money...what would lure him here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastsideEZ Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So hypothetically... if we get Dez... Do we still draft a receiver early??? I say yes... I don’t trust John brown Perriman or Moore... I’m sorry I just don’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah I think receiver would still be looked at early. Probably not in the first round, but I'm kind of thinking that the team wasn't leaning that way regardless.
